Merry Christmas From SOOT

Caption reads "Damn contemporary, bullshit architecture!"

Lets hope Santa is good to us all.......our letter reads something like this

"Please Santa can you bring the Old Town the best new development for the New Street site, one that respects and is in harmony with the surrounding historic environment ( not the new council headquarters), that does not demand unnessary demolitions of homes and buildings, loss of views and has lots of family sized housing, green space and generally good things for all and not just what a few greedy people want"
